Quoting from another article:
The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.
Some regions may see slower changes than others in the short term. Long term, all will be affected.
In total, Waymo has reported nearly 200 crashes, which works out to about one crash every 100,000 miles. Waymo says 43 percent of crashes across San Francisco and Phoenix had a delta-V of less than 1 mph—in other words, they were very minor fender-benders.
The 72-cell panels, comprised of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%
I had the same reaction on the first two. Humanoid robot is just self driving with much more complexity and moving parts. Teledriving, though sounds cool isn't practical, now that we're already starting to reach L4 self-driving. It also looks incredibly unsafe in case the vehicle loses data connection and can't safely come to a stop.
Summary:
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are using AI to develop a more efficient method for producing green hydrogen. The researchers have been searching for the optimal alloy or metal combination to act as a catalyst, aiming to make the reaction more efficient and affordable. The AI program analyzed over 36,000 metal oxide combinations through virtual simulations and tested the top candidate in the lab. The recommended alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium emerged as the clear winner, demonstrating 20 times better stability and durability than the benchmark metal.
Yes, their data does count battery storage as operating capacity. Isn't that a useful metric though, since batteries will complement the grid during solar downtime?
In a recent interview, they said it'll be one city at a time due to mapping constraints. Also they're looking to lower costs while maintaining safety.
There are around 100,000 EVs in Ethiopia so far.
The Ethiopian government estimates that number will more than quadruple by 2032. That’s largely because the national government took the extraordinary step earlier this year of banning the import of all gas-powered passenger vehicles — becoming the first nation in the world to do so.
It'd be great if AI is powered entirely by renewables, but how trustworthy is that target?
Companies and politicians are known to drag their feet switching to renewables or use greenwashing to show they care more about climate than they actually do.
